Cannot log in to public open Wifi connection
Solution 1:
Here is what I have found works for forcing the captive portal (i.e., login page for WIFI connections on public hotspots):
Make the connection to the WIFI.
-
Open a terminal and type
route
. You should receive a display such as:Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 10.1.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 600 0 0 wlo1 10.1.0.0 * 255.255.248.0 U 600 0 0 wlo1 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlo1```
Type the default Gateway (i.e.,
10.1.0.1
) into your browser's address bar, you will receive the WIFI login page.

I have the same problem and I am going to add the following to my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
file:

uri=http://nmcheck.gnome.org/check_network_status.txt

Solution 3:
For me,
sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf
completely solved the problem. I hope it will help you.
